Walk through the snowy woods with me and discover a great read! Often cited as the coziest read of all time, WINTER SOLSTICE is an uplifting journey into community life. This novel was published just before the internet changed our world forever. Escape to a Scottish coastal village with a bunch of good people who will linger on with you after the book is closed.

Spring in full bloom! A red phone box and a swirl of cherry blossoms from a seasons series I did several years ago. The cherry blossom is what I associate with spring. Is it something else for you? 🌸☀️

Our @BritBox Watchlist is rather ambitious, in particular since we are trialing for 3 months before biting the bullet on annual plan, if such becomes the choice. Their annual is pricer than @AMC so we shall WATCH n' ponder. Too much to watch, too lil' time, but throw me a descent promo and I may buy in.

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of moderate means and questionable taste
I've been around for a long, long year
I've seen too much and I've lost faith

Apologies to the Rolling Stones but I've updated it for the general malaise that is #GenX life in the early 21st century. General #introduction post here as I've just migrated from mastodon.social. I'm the homebody type who's very content to just curl up with a good #book. I enjoy #movies and most types of #music. Love good #food but I have a lifelong hatred of olives. I'm mostly here to meet fun, funny people and have a good time while taking the serious stuff in small doses for the preservation of whatever sanity I have left. I imagine I'll update this as more things occur to me to add. Below are some more specific interest. Glad to be here and beige bless!
